X Factor star 'splits from husband of eight years' as she makes Glastonbury debut

A former X Factor star has split from her husband of eight years as she also makes her Glastonbury debut. Lucie Jones and Ethan Boroian are no longer together, according to reports.

The couple had met each other during their X Factor auditions in 2009, but they have now called it quits. It's said the duo are quietly going through a divorce and Lucie no longer followers her husband on social media.

It's claimed the pair have simply grown apart in their relationship. A source said the duo realised they were "young when they married" and now Lucie's focus has changed.

Speaking to the Sun, an insider said: "She has been busy focusing on pursuing her career on the West End stage and travelling the globe, they're moving on with their lives. Lucie's in a really good place and has already moved on and met someone else and has loved performing at Glastonbury."

They added: "Ethan is no longer in showbusiness and their lives were headed in different directions."

Lucie's appearance at Glastonbury was the first time she had been on the stage at the Worthy Farm festival. Before the weekend, she promised "cool surprises" during the "huge celebration of music and theatre" as she got ready for a three-day spell.

She admitted she was delighted when she got the call to be involved. Speaking to the Mirror before the sets, she explained what people could expert from her.

She said: "When I was there last year, I was like, 'why is there no musical theatre here?' I was just walking around and I was thinking, these people would love a bit of defying gravity.

"I think a lot of people think of musical theatre as like jazz hands and tap dance. But that just isn't the style that I do. It's going to be super upbeat and you're going to know every song. There's a bit of that in musical theatre, of course, but it's a whole world of other stuff as well."

And she went on to tease more about her sets. "There's a couple of friends that I've got that are playing at Glastonbury who, quite possibly will be joining me, or I'll be joining them during their set," she said.

"I'm really excited about one or two of them. It's going to be super cool and they're not necessarily musical theatre acts."

Lucie previously represented the UK in Eurovision. Following her stint on the contest eight years ago she then credited the X Factor for "changing her life". The series produced a number of stars including winner Joe McElderry, who Lucie still keeps in touch with now. "I'm going to Ibiza tomorrow and I'm going to see Joe McElderry," she said.
